A collection of my photos of flora and fauna, and maybe now and then,
something else that catches my attention and just will not let go.
Maybe even with little verbage, which is pretty hard for this gal.

Elk

.
Just as Man and I came out of the Grand Canyon National Park, standing almost in the driveway to our campground were several elk (which some uneducated observer told us was a mule deer). They were just grazing away on the grasses along the road. They sure created a fuss with the vacationers, traffic stopped, people jumping out of cars and trucks taking photos. Man secured a parking spot for Big Butt, grabbed Sony and hightailed it over to take some photos. Well done to the Man! (Who, by the way, is a much better technical photographer than I, he is always teaching me new tricks of the trade.)

Above: No, it does not have 6 legs! LOL There is
another elk directly behind this one. This big fella is chewing
on a piece of green fresh grass.

Above, looking both ways before we cross the highway??
Probably not, they go where they want, and the traffic stops for them!

* Our visit to the Grand Canyon was on April 21, 2011. It took me till this week to realize what animal this was. SIGHH and DUHHH. OKK, I got it now! LOL

I have found I am having so much fun with the camera that there are many more photos taken than will fit on my blog, Reflections From the Fence.

I post flora and fauna photos here. One subject a day, a flora and fauna 365 project. I managed to get past the first 365 and started the second year of this daily exercise. I made it till sometime in November of 2011. And, now, Flora and Fauna is just a regular ole blog, posting when I have something to share and the time to post it.

Some posts are wordy, some are wordless. My goal is to make them as wordless as possible. However, if I find something interesting during the posting/research process, I may share, ok, I will probably share. I hope you find the words and photos to be interesting.

Remember, by clicking on the photo, it will open in a new window, usually a larger view of the image, more detail, etc. Please use your back button to return here to Reflection's Flora and Fauna.
